Q1: We don’t measure up to God’s standard of perfection. We can never be good enough. We have broken all the rules. Jesus Christ met that standard; and we can have Him meet that standard for us. It’s spiritual welfare. We have to receive this gift of grace through faith. Outside of Jesus we are condemned, but inside Christ we are accepted.

1. By ourselves and by our works, we can not be good enough to meet God’s standard. There is nothing we can do separate from Christ that will get us away from the deserved condemnation through our sins. But we have an option. There is a way for us, That is Christ. He died on the cross and he took upon all the sins of mankind and offers us grace and forgiveness, We don’t have to be prisoners to sin anymore, We have our way to heaven and freedom from death and suffering that sin has caused. We have an amazing future in store and all we have to do is accept the gift that Christ has offered us.

2. We are the light of the world. We have to get out and tell others what Christ has done for us and be examples of his amazing transformative power. Through us, others will be brought to Christ by seeing how we act, how we speak, how we serve, how we live as examples of our Lord. There is no greater calling, no greater responsibility.

We are not perfect by no means. We make mistakes everyday, the good news is that God forgives us. .
We just have to accept this gift that God has given us through the sacrifice of His only Son on the cross to save us from our sins.

As Jesus was the light of the world, we have to let our light shine through Him in everything we do.
